The browser has a field input history mechanism, however it is disabled on purpose in Web Dynpro because the way that the browsers store this information is insecure.
In NetWeaver 7.02 we will introduce the concept of SuggestValues. This is not history, but intellegent value suggestion based upon domain or search help values. It completes as you type using an AJAX call back to the server to retrieve the values.

SAPGUI 7.20 PL4: Input history is not working

Hello,
we're on the way to roll out SAPGUI 7.20 PL4. Now I discoverd a serious bug: Local input history isn't working anymore.
I switched on tracing on SAPGUI to see whats wrong, an the cause is simple: SAPGUI uses comma (,) instead of dot (.) in the generated SQL command for the local MicrosoftJet Database engine. So here is a excerpt from the trace log:
Local DB: CSapHistoryDb::GetHistoryList: SO_VBELN-LOW
Local DB(Error): CSapHistoryDb::GetHistoryList: Microsoft JET Database Engine Syntaxfehler (Komma) in Abfrageausdruck '(HistFieldname = "SO_VBELN-LOW") AND (HistTime >= 40478,353102)'.
Local DB(Error): CSapHistoryDb::GetHistoryList: Microsoft JET Database Engine Syntaxfehler (Komma) in Abfrageausdruck '(HistFieldname = "SO_VBELN-LOW") AND (HistTime >= 40478,353102)'
So, I know the bug, I know the case. Whats next step? Is the bug already known to SAP and fixed in the next release or should I open an support case?
Walter

Thanks for you answer, but of course I reinstalled it yet (several times). The problem / but shows on every workstation I tested with (Windows XP SP3 32bit and also Windows 7 64bit).
I'm pretty sure the bug is caused by locale setting (we're located in germany). I suppose somewhere deep in the code of SAPGUI is a line like
sprintf(sql, "select foo from bar where fobar > %g", timestamp);
and the programmer isn't aware that there are systems where LC_* isn't set to "C" or something...
Remember, we germans use comma as decimal separator, the rest of the world(?) uses a dot. So if I change the default locale setting on the workstation to use dot (.) as decimal separator, SAPGUI input-history works. But I dont't want to change this setting on >100 workstations (and an don't know if it breaks other software...).
This bug is new in 7.20, with 7.10 we never had this problem.
So I think I will open a support case at SAP.

I just upgraded to FF 7 and now when I open Firefox none of my history or cookies have been saved. I have checked in options that Firefox will remember my history and all relevant settings but it is not doing it. Is there a problem with this on FF7?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
See also "Help About".
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu. You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

Can we Change the backround color of an Input field in Webdynpro for ABAP.

Hi Experts ?
Can we change the background color of an Input field in WebDynpro for ABAP based on results we receive from any function module or BAPI?? .
Thanks in advance .
Regards ,
LAS

Yes. We can change the background of an input field. The way you do this is by editing the theme that webdynpro application uses. To edit the theme, you will need to install NWDS PLUS the theme edit plugin (Available for download from SAP).
Once you have edited the theme, you will need to upload your theme back to application server. You can use the program : BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS to do this.
Bydefault, the theme used by webdynpro applications is :
/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/sap_tradeshow
You can apply another theme by calling the webdynpro application with a theme parameter. For example, if my webdynpro application name is "zgopaltest", then
http://<server>:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zgopaltest?SAP-EP-THEMEROOT=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/sap_tradeshow
will apply the sap_tradeshow theme.
Likewise, you can apply diffrent theme. There is another theme that SAP provides. Its called : sap_hcb. Hence, you can apply the theme to the above application by:
http://<server>:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zgopaltest?SAP-EP-THEMEROOT=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/sap_hcb

Firefox 3.6.9 is not remembering my history as set in preferences.

Preferences are set correctly to remember my history for 30 days. All boxes are checked, except I have deselected the Clear History when FF closes option. Ever since I updated to this from 3.5, my History will not remember itself as anticipated. I have had to type in full web addresses from one day to the next, which of course is not how this preference is intended to work. Help!

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

I have selected "never remember my history" but everytime I start firefox and open a new tab, websites I visited the previous day are all displayed there.

Under Options I have selected "Firefox will never remember my history." Nevertheless, even after I have closed my browser and restarted my computer, Firefox does remember my browsing history. If I "clear all current history" it gets wiped out, but all browsing after that is remembered and is visible in "show all history" and when I open a new tab and there is a tiled display of previous websites visited. Is it not enough to say "never remember history?" Is there something else I need to do to not have this information saved?
P.S. I do have Firefox sync and one other device, a smart phone. Do I have to adjust settings in the browser on that? It doesn't seem to offer the same options.

That is weird as you seem to be running Firefox in Private Browsing mode:
*browser.privatebrowsing.autostart: True
Does this only happen after you reboot the computer or also if you reopen Firefox immediately?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

How to display my input history values on Filename filed (selection screen)

Hi All,
Please let me know how to display my input history values under the field of selection screen.
I created Zprogram as below.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: P_FILE TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME OBLIGATORY.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
I displayed a selection screen of my Zprogram, my cursor put on P_FILE field, and enter BACKSPACE key,
so it doesn't display my input history values.
Of course I've selected Local Data History 'ON' of my GUI option,
so it's displayed my input history values on any other fields.
If you know why, please let me know.
Regards,
Rie.

In the GUI options, there is also a setting for the maximum length of fields for storing the history, maybe it is set to small, as your selection field is length 128.
Alternatively you can switch to a STRING, I have observed that the history is displayed after the first letter is being entered (maybe dependent on GUI version, who knows...)

Low speed connection, but still have input history.

Hi there,
We have done some tests in our business to see the performance difference between "low speed connection" being enabled and disabled for a system, both from a network perspective, and from a performance perspective on Citrix servers.
We have determined that the 'input history' feature doesn't cause much performance impact, but a lot of the other 'high-speed' features like images and tool tips do.
We would like to be able to have "low speed connection" for our system, but still enable 'input history'. Is there any way this can be achieved, such as through INI or registry changes?
Thanks,
Michael.

I raised a message with SAP, and they responded saying that this is not possible

"Remember download history" setting is being ignored

I'm not sure if this began immediately with the Firefox 8 upgrade, but FF is currently saving downloads in the History menu despite the fact that I've got "Remember download history" unticked.
I can't find anyone else with this problem, and think something in my profile directory may be corrupt. Can anyone suggest which file in there is likely to be the culprit? (so that I can delete it.)

You haven't answered if you only see those files as history items and not in the download manager.
I also see an entry in the history if I save a GIF file from that page.

Firefox does not remember my history or bookmarks or anything after i go to a new page or website

When I go to a new page (for example from Google.com to Youtube.com or with any other website), Firefox does not remember the history or bookmarks or any other information that I just used. I cannot go back to the page i was at before because it won't remember my history. I tried all the steps that it told me to do when i clicked on more info in the red bar that said "Firefox will not remember your history or bookmarks because it is in use by another application" but it sill didn't work.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Input history problem

Hi Guru's
SAP 7.10 patch level 16 has been installed, input history is not working even after uninstall and installing again. I also checked in ALT + F12 --> options --> local data history is ON. Still having prob
Vinay

Hello Vinay
please check note 199527:
eg:
If the history is not shown at all:
- Check MDAC/MSJET installation
    In SAP GUI 6.20, ADO is used instead of the DAO components,
    because DAO is not compatible with the new multi-threading
    architecture of the SAP GUI, as described in Microsoft
    Knowledge Base article Q169395.
    ADO requires two components: MDAC and MSJET. Up to MDAC 2.5,
    MSJET was part of MDAC. Since MDAC 2.6, MDAC and MSJET are
    shipped separately, as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base
    article 271908.
    You can check the installation of MDAC using the Microsoft
    Component Checker as described in Note 620677.
    If MDAC does not exist, you can install MDAC 2.5 using the SAP
    GUI installation as described in Note 568119.
    Alternatively, more current versions of MDAC are also
    available at the URL mentioned above. As mentioned, note that
    MSJET must be installed separately in the current MDAC
    versions.
-   MDAC installation seems correct/still no history available
If you tried to repair the MDAC installation in accordance
with Note 931540, but the histoy is still not displayed: Note
1176026 contains a minimal test program to create an Access DB
on your PC. If this also fails, we recommend to contact
Microsoft Support.

Remembering Form History... is this a script?

Hi I was wondering if ANYONE KNOWS if the feature in Firefox that remembering 'form history' is considered: generated by a script, macro, automated entry systems or automated device? I enter a LOT of sweepstakes and MOST of them say that you cannot enter by using script, macro or the alike. I USE to use roboform but I've COMPLETELY uninstalled it because of this reason.
Was wondering if any of you Techies out there know this for a FACT if it IS or isn't! I'd really appreciate KNOWING. My HANDS and FINGERS will thank you... well, either way even if I STILL have to 'manually' enter everything. At LEAST I'll have peace of mind KNOWING I'm doing it legally and NOT getting disqualified because that's what happens.. and then it's just BIG TIME wasted!
Thanks in advance for your help and time in reading my question!

Thank you both for your reply! I appreciate the help! @Cor-el... regarding 'key presses' which yes I think some want to make SURE that you are ACTUALLY on the page and taking time to fill things in... I was just wondering... do you think the 'double click' fill in would count as 'key presses'?? You know how Firefox will have your info already in there and on SOME forms you can just double click it all in... just wondering if THAT would count and 'log in' as key presses...
Also @jscher2000 that is FOR SURE about the 'automated' entries! I KNOW for SURE they do NOT allow those programs like... only ONE I know of is something called 'Nija' or something like that... but I'm so just a little paranoid now because the RULES have gotten SOO STRICT regarding making sure you MANUALLY enter or JUST not use those programs... my hands & fingers are hurting, lol... was just hoping that 'double clicking' the info in would be ok :)
Thanks again for both your help :)

Dynamically Creation of input field in webdynpro

Hello Experts,
I am new to webdynpro.
I have a requirement to create the input filed dynamically for material.
Requirement:- I have to button in my screen "+" and "-" button.
after execution while i will click on + button one input filed should be created automatically and while i will clicik on
- button the newly creaed inputfield should be deleted from the screen.
Coulld anybody help me on this.
it would be great if somebody can share any solutin or sample code.
Thanks in Adv...

Hi Kiran,
Jus to clarify on this: There might be situations, we don't know how many fields the user wants to create at runtime.
Yes, OK, that does make sense and justifies the effort in this case, I agree with you.
But in OP's case I think he only wants one field:
after execution while i will click on + button one input filed should be created automatically and while i will clicik on
Still, it does make sense to dynamically create them if there could be one up to X to keep the application slender.
Cheers, Lukas

How can I get Firefox to remember my settings on my Yahoo mail. I have to set them everytime I check it. I have set my Firefox to remember my history.

I wish to view my email with basic settings but it will revert to their default every time I log in. I have my Firefox set to remember history and save cookies.

What are your current cookie settings?
Are you allowing all cookies or are you you using the 'ask me' setting?
This issue can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked.
*check the permissions on the about:permissions page and in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
*Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

How to make firefox remember the main web address of each website instead of it remembering URLs history?

Whenever you visit a website such as youtube.com and have searched for videos on the site, firefox remembers all these URLs the next time round you attempt to type youtube.com into the address bar. I find it frustrating because all I want to see is a neat list of websites beginning with the letter 'y' when I begin typing 'youtube' such as youtube.com or yahoo.com, etc. I don't want to see everything else otherwise it just looks messy - you end up having to click on one of the URLs to get to the site again or you end up retyping the main address out yourself (some main web addresses are long!).
Is there an option in firefox where you can have it only remember the main web address of the sites you have visited instead of all the URLs visited on those sites? I'm not talking about deleting the entire history, just for the address bar to remember a simple list of sites such as google.co.uk, yahoo.com, youtube.com, outlook.com, etc.
If something like this doesn't exist then I wish someone would give us the option to do that.

Pick a page you like for that site, then bookmark it. In the future,
just select the bookmark.
